Participants with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
Taking one of the FDA-approved antidepressant therapies (ADTs) for the treatment of GAD (i.e., escitalopram, paroxetine, duloxetine, and venlafaxine XR).
Continuing to exhibit anxiety symptoms (Hamilton Anxiety Scale \[HAM-A\] total score \>= 22) at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline, Week 0) despite being on an adequate dose and duration (at least 6 weeks of continuous use, with a minimum of 3 of 6 weeks above the minimum labeled dose for GAD).
Documentation of inadequate response to at least 1 ADT must be confirmed on the GAD-Antidepressant Treatment Response Questionnaire (GAD-ATRQ).
Must have a minimum score of 22 on the rater-administrated HAM-A and a minimum score of 4 on the rater-administered Clinical Global Impression of Severity Scale (CGI-S), at both Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline, Week 0).
A score of less than 12 on the rater-administered Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17-item (HAMD-17) at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline, Week 0).
Laboratory values must meet the criteria specified in the protocol within the screening period prior to the first dose of study drug.
You may not be if
Psychiatric comorbidities, risk of suicide, self-injury, and/or harm to others; any current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 5th edition (DSM-5) psychiatric diagnosis other than generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (other than specific phobias) or history of alcohol or any other substance-related disorders within the 6 months before Visit 1 (Screening).
Pregnancy, current breastfeeding status, plans to become pregnant or to donate eggs during the study or for approximately 30 days after the last dose of investigational product (female participants).
History of an allergic reaction, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to constituents of cariprazine (and its excipients) and/or other products of the same class or to any of the protocol-approved rescue medications.
Any clinically relevant or significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, including ECG with QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \>450 msec (males) or \>470 msec (females).
History of seizure disorder, with the exception of febrile seizure, stroke, significant head injury, tumor of the central nervous system, or any other condition that predisposes to seizure.
Specific medical conditions precluding study drug use and/or study participation, such as history of neuroleptic malignant syndrome; cataracts or retinal detachment; allergic reactions/hypersensitivity to cariprazine and/or protocol-approved rescue medications; pregnancy per above; cardiovascular disease; seizure history; and any other disease that is clinically unstable or would make the participant an unsuitable candidate to participate in the study, based on the investigator's judgment.
